Hi, I am Loki, Kensi‘s pet cat. Do you discover every day? Because I do. One time she made a costume. I went to see the costume. I looked around and DISCOVERED it was a VERY cool place! Now go out and DISCOVER all the time! Just so you know, I think discovering is SO COOL! Thank you for listening.

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

Catapults are simple mechanisms used to throw projectiles. How do catapults get their energy? SIMPLE! A rope pulls back, released, and you start over. Here is how I am going to do build my catapult. A rubber band can pull back and it will release. So it will fling back to its spot and throw the object. To make a catapult, I need hot glue, rubber bands, popsicle sticks, wooden cubes, and a plastic serving cup.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
